This rarely screened film was produced in the Summer of 2020 during the height of the covid epidemic. With a fully masked and socially distanced crew, the film was shot in the living room of Nelda Linsk’s home.

The interview style film tells the endearing story of Nelda hosting society photographer Slim Aarons at her and her husband, Joseph Linsk’s home in Palm Springs. Not just any home, the Linsks owned the Edgar J. Kaufmann Residence, 1946 by Richard Neutra, when the now the highly recognizable photo was taken.

Hear the story in Nelda’s own words as she amusingly recounts that January day in 1970 when she invited some friends and neighbors over for poolside champagne. Slim Aarons, with a stationary camera set on a tripod, captured the essence of the setting, encompassing architecture, fashion, interior design, and as Aarons often said, ‘shooting attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.”

Nelda’s invitees that day included industrial designer, Raymond Loewy; interior designer, Steve Chase; actress and singer, Lita Baron; as well as ultra glamorous supermodel, Helen Dzo Dzo.

This very special event includes a Q&A period following the screening, and a meet & greet with Nelda Linsk.
